This facility was being built as a multi-use sports floor —\nhigh-energy kids programming during the day, and a paddle \/ pickleball\ncourt at night. The interior designer's lighting plan worked at a glance,\nbut when we ran it through Dialux it showed sparse coverage on the courts\n(only 3 × 10 fixtures over the pickleball area), big lux dropouts between\nfixtures, and a real glare risk for both children looking up and players\ntracking the ball.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow we approached it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe threw out the original lighting layout and redesigned each room around\nthree sports-grade rules: uniform horizontal illuminance, glare-free\noptics, and a contrast palette that stays gentle on a child's eye but\nbright enough for tournament play. The pickleball court was re-laid as\na dense 5 × 12 grid of 24.4 W luminaires for even coverage across the\nfull playing surface. Kids play area (Room 1) was re-spaced to hit the\n500 lx working-plane target with uniformity Uo ≥ 0.50 — well above sports\nhall minimums, so coaches can run any drill in any corner without\nre-pointing fixtures. Ancillary rooms (entry, toilets) were dialled in\nseparately to keep transition between zones gentle on the eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFixtures used\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoom 1 (kids play area): dense grid hitting Ē 543 lx (target ≥500 lx),\nUo 0.53 (target ≥0.50 — sports-hall grade); Room 2 (multipurpose):\nĒ 411 lx (target ≥400 lx), Uo 0.48; Room 3 (pickleball + corridor):\n5 × 12 grid of 24.4 W luminaires, calibrated for tournament pickleball\n(≥300 lx uniform across the entire court with no shadow zones); Rooms\n4 + 5 (ancillary): comfortable 200+ lx ambient. The redesign roughly\ndoubled fixture count on the play areas vs the original plan but used\nlower wattage per fixture, so connected load barely moved while\nuniformity, glare, and child-comfort metrics all improved dramatically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe outcome\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSportball got a sports-facility-grade lighting design before fit-out started — the exact moment in the build where ceiling positions and electrical points can still move cheaply. We iterated through the brief in three to four design rounds — starting with the interior designer's original lighting plan, running it through Dialux, identifying every sparse zone, and rebuilding room by room until every working plane hit its target. The full iteration journey — architectural drawings, original-plan Dialux analysis showing the issues, and our final redesign — is bundled in the single combined report linked above. The Dialux output now drives the install: every fixture position is documented, every lux target is verified room-by-room. The play floor is bright enough for kids drills during the day and uniform enough for serious paddle \/ pickleball play at night — one ceiling, two completely different programs running off the same fixtures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat you get when you work with us\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAutoCAD lighting layout with aiming arrows for every fixture\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePhotorealistic 3D renderings of your space, lit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHorizontal \u0026amp; vertical lux reports per zone\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGlare (UGR) analysis where customers and staff are positioned\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFixture specification sheets and full BOQ\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOne warm, faithful colour signature across every surface (CCT\/CRI matched)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n  \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/contact\"\u003eTalk to our design team\u003c\/a\u003e about a complimentary Dialux\n  lighting plan for your space, or\n  \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/retail-showroom-lighting-design-services\"\u003eread more about how we design lighting for projects like this\u003c\/a\u003e.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eliante by Jainsons Lights","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49932745244949,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0825\/3574\/3765\/files\/01-sportball-pickleball-court-final-uniform-grid.jpg?v=1779461585","url":"https:\/\/jainsonslightsonline.com\/products\/sportball-lighting-design-kids-pickleball","provider":"Jainsonslightsonline.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
